Need help finding year of manufacture
« on: September 13, 2013, 09:03:28 AM »
Just recently acquired an M3A1 half-track.  I'd like to see if anyone out there can help me determine what year the track was manufactured.  The track was produced by Diamond T and has mfrs serial number M3A1 1303W.  The ordnance serial number is 26133 and the USA registration number is 4064394.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

1952 M37
1970 M35A2
1943 Diamond-T M3A1 under restoration

If you post your track's info on there they may give you more exact information.
